easterner

Sunrise-side resident typically

An easterner is a person from the eastern part of a country or region.

In American usage, it typically means someone from the northeastern United States—New York, New England, and surrounding areas: The easterners who settled the frontier brought their customs with them.

The term often carries connotations of urban sophistication or, from a western perspective, soft unfamiliarity with rugged life.
